I don't see Santorum having any part in a Romney presidency, but Gingrich is another matter.

Gingrich gives one helluva speech, and he's brutal on Obama, and I can see him campaigning for Romney. But what will he get in return? Newt considers himself a visionary, so I don't see him as VP...to boring. Secretary of State maybe, ambassador to the UN?

Any ideas?
Not a Republican, just a conservative leaning Libertarian. I'd prefer to see nothing whatsoever of Newt regardless of the election results.

Given the slim chances of the above happening I'd prefer my exposure to the self-serving hack be limited to the occasional glimpse of him pontificating while I'm channel surfing. That leaves me the options of continuing with channel surfing or using the mute button.

I dont see Newt having a position in a Romney admin, once the election is over, Romney wont really have any use for Newt. Gingrich is a fighter, maybe Romney could have him pinch hit in the debates against obama. If Romney wins the nomination hopefully he will have Newt out as the lead attack dog against obama and his sympathetic media.

He is really best as a talk show pundit. All talk, no obligations. And he is clever enough (like Limbaugh) to turn every one of his failed predictions into proof of his "visionaryness." He is best as a bs artist very far from actual power.
